| 1f1e77c | A SMALL SUGGESTION*** Or maybe there was a woman on Grande Strasse who now kept her library window open for another reason - but that's just be being cynical, or hopeful. Or both. | Markus Zusak | ||

It's everywhere, on all sides and angles. This is where the father needs to be. Not in some church, gathering dust. | Markus Zusak | ||
| dcbb7ad | Another noteworthy point is that the first was stolen from snow and the second from fire. | Markus Zusak | ||
| eb8c7fc | I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what couldI tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant. None of those things, however, came o.. | humans stories words | Markus Zusak | |

| d033d74 | I buy the stale popcorn, or at least try (because Bernie, in his words, won't have it) and we go through and sit down, near where I watched from yesterday. He's given us a ticket each. 'Coool Hand Luke: 7pm.' 'Has your cool got three Os?' Audrey enquires. I look down at it, amused. It has and it seems perfect for this night. | Markus Zusak | ||

| aa8ad2a | he was exercising his God-given right to stupidity. | Markus Zusak | ||
| 9e9a2d3 | Many jocular comments followed, as did another onslaught of Heil Hitlering. You know, it actually makes me wonder if anyone ever lost an eye or injured a hand or wrist with all of that.
